Let's Get Personal

My wife Samantha is an artist and an Emmy Award winning art educator at The Frist Art Museum. She makes a great companion in travel and life.

My daughter Sophia is amazing. She is wild and artistic and loves to make people laugh. That is Velma in the bike basket.

I grew up on a farm in Santa Fe, TN and went to Father Ryan High School. I went to college at Ole Miss, MTSU and UT Knoxville where I took a photojournalism class that changed my life. I worked at Vanderbilt before going full time with photography.

I was raised on cello lessons but fell in love with guitar years later when my Dad taught me Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice". I write songs, make beats, play open mic nights and earned a BS in music production.

I'm an Eagle Scout and I love the outdoors. This is a photo with my brothers.

I listen to audiobooks while I'm editing photos. I usually get through 40 per year. I'm always looking for recommendations and ready to dish them out.

I'm into a bit of adventure tourism. I've run with the bulls in Pamplona, hiked the Inka trail to Machu Picchu in Peru, visited Petra in Jordan, the Taj Mahal in India, the Pyramids in Giza, & I've been diving in the Red Sea. I love deserts and rain forests and also the woods behind my home.

Last year I turned 40 and my mid-life crisis has included joining adult softball and soccer leagues, playing more tennis, and doing a daily cross-fit workout but no new sports car for me.

More Than A Wedding Photographer

In addition to wedding photography I take on commercial, fashion, editorial, portrait, video and TV promo work. Without a doubt my experience with fashion, commercial and editorial work makes me a better wedding photographer. Some of my commercial clients tell me they can't believe how fast I work and I tell them it's because I'm a wedding photographer and I'm used to working in a time crunch. Wedding photographers know how to get something great in some truly terrible lighting situations. Commercial photographers know how to get striking, attention grabbing images and are prepared to be meticulous about the editing. Editorial photographers have to be able to support a story with images while avoiding anything that looks too contrived or over posed. Wedding photography has always been the most challenging for me but it is also the most rewarding. 

My commercial client list includes: The Grand Ole Opry, The Nashville Symphony, The Frist Art Museum, HGTV/Discovery Channel, Health Magazine, United Apparel Liquidators, Pierce Manufacturing, Compass Real Estate, The Hermitage Hotel and AEG Live Events. My photos have appeared in Town & Country, The New York Times, Garden & Gun, Nashville Lifestyle, Bust, Rangefinder, People and Southern Bride.
